   -jwt-key="${OAUTH2_PROXY_JWT_KEY}"
 ```
 You can also set all these options with environment variables, for use in cloud/docker environments.
+One tricky thing that you may encounter is that some cloud environments will pass in environment
+variables in a docker env-file, which does not allow multiline variables like a PEM file.
+If you encounter this, then you can create a `jwt_signing_key.pem` file in the top level
+directory of the repo which contains the key in PEM format and then do your docker build.
+The docker build process will copy that file into your image which you can then access by
+setting the `OAUTH2_PROXY_JWT_KEY_FILE=/etc/ssl/private/jwt_signing_key.pem`
+environment variable, or by setting `-jwt-key-file=/etc/ssl/private/jwt_signing_key.pem` on the commandline.
